planned to move to lanka :D

Hi,

Good to know that you are planning to settle down and welcome to Sri Lanka..

There are lots of businesses that you can start here and would like to know your area of competence, so that can tell whether it is profitable.

Further dont have any worries about the language, cos I can help you with it cos I am a Spoken Sinhalese teacher.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks

Well, food business will be great specially around Negombo... I know cos I am also from Negombo...

Cost may depend on the way you want the shop to be. can u give a small idea about that too..

Hi:

Having been in relocation for a long time: I think you need to first identify what you would love doing in Sri Lanka first and what you would be happy at. Then explore the opportunity for this in Sri Lanka and only move onto others if it is absolutely not feasible.

Whereas restaurants are concerned you have chosen a nice location to have a restaurant especially Arab and Indian. Whereas Arab is concerned there are many Arab Nationals relocating and doing restaurants here so you may have a little authentic competition there. But then again quality is everything. Even areas like Nawala, Battaramulla (which are considerered Colombo suburbs) really need diverse restaurants.

For costings: are you starting from scratch or looking to buy an existing outlet.

This advice has made many of our clients really happy and made living in Sri Lanka a wonderful experience.

Best of luck
